BBC employees are entitled to their opinions, but they need to keep them to themsleves. Maybe Lineker should post on the Leicester site under a pseudonym. Then he can vent as much as he likes, just like we do.

Originally posted by inflikted Honesty, I thought Crystal Palace was one of the more liberal clubs due to the multicultural nature of South East London but its very hard right judging by this forum. Disgusting. And deeply disappointing. Have a look at the BBS which normally has ten times the number of active posters online at any one time as HOL and you will see that the majority of the posters seem to be to the left of Jeremy Corbyn and everything is the fault of this Tory government, probably even our loss to Manchester City

Media claiming today the BBC will back down which I believe will be a failure of management. This story has moved on from what Lineker meant in his post to who runs the BBC, I expect the answer will be Gary and his football chums. You reap what you sow, more ammunition for the opponents of the licence fee. One more point

Lineker knew his post would cause a furore, and he has been previously warned. The DG is a Tory donor, a person Lineker would not like one little bit. His mates ( possibly all anti-Govt) have rallied round. Might be wide of the mark but not beyond realms of possibility

Originally posted by Badger11 Perhaps, but more likely his allies in the BBC see an opportunity to capitalise on the situation, I don't think Lineker is that smart. He's smart enough to parlay a certain perceived amiability and the ability to ask his mates a few obvious questions into a job which makes him the BBCs highest paid employee and flies him round the world watching football matches.

They shouldn't forget that there is far more to the BBC than it's sports department, and the far bigger and wider entertainment industry comprises a very large Jewish contingency who will not have been impressed by Lineker's analogy... A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

I am sure it will make no difference but I have emailed the BBC with my ten pence worth - get rid of the man - and if his mates want to follow him then tell them where to go as well! Let's have the likes of Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin on more often - there are better people out there than GL, Shearer and Wright!

So considering that Mark Chapman and all the paid pundits walked out in solidarity must mean they are all left wing Marxists as well? I would be interested to hear from the anti Lineker brigade what right wing football pundits they would like to see presenting MOTD. Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

If Lineker is that concerned about immigration or other issues he could have approached the BBC and asked them for a platform to express his views with a right of reply of course for the alternate opinion. Instead he chose to use his celebrity profile to attack government policy, if his contract doesn't prohibit him from doing that then shame on the BBC. Most employees have a "morals" (for want of a better word) clause that prohibits them from doing reputational damage to the organisation they work for. One more point

You reap what you sow, more ammunition for the opponents of the licence fee. That's because what Lineker meant by his post is an insignificant side show. The real issue is whether those who work for the BBC, in whichever way, can be contractually restrained from expressing themselves, on issues outside their speciality, in their private time. Lineker has merely brought this to the boil. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

They can get rid of him without fear of reprisal - after all, he has told the Revenue that he is self employed. I know it becomes more complicated than that but I would just show strength and tell him that he is gone. He may broadcast elsewhere and get more money but at least it wouldn't be at my expense!
